INCOMING
Another week passes with my not buying any books. I'm still looking for decent places to buy books.
However...Walt just dropped off 23 of the banker's boxes of books that were stored in his garage. What an amazing feeling! It's like being reunited with old friends. Actually it IS a reunion with old friends. More boxes will be coming over the next few weeks until the enttire house is bursting with old friends! And I will be gleefully chortling and lovingly caressing each and every one of them.
What? You mean you don't lovingly caress your old friends? What is wrong with you?

MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
This past week we gave thanks. Over the next few weeks many of us will be talking about peace on earth. This is the time of year when we should be showing our better side. Why, o why then are so many people showing us their irrational and bigoted side?
As always, John Oliver sets things straight.

ADVENTURES IN ELECTRICITY, NUMBER ONE (1946)
Want to know about electricty? Want to know "How the Magic Is Born...and How It Travels?" If you are a dim bulb like Johnny Powers, you probably do. Luckily Johnny's big brother Ed is a scientist with his own lab so he can explain it all to Johnny. (Ed, by the way, is a former football star so you know it's cool to be a scientist.)
This comic book -- the first of at least eight that General Electric sponsored as giveways btween 1946 and 1950 -- starts the discussion off with the generation of electricity.
At the end of this issue, Ed tells Johnny that he has "learned a lot! But...No man knows all about electricty. There's an ocean of unknown facts ahead of us.,,and we've just about got our feet wet in the water."
Er, Ed...you really don't want to get your feet wet in the water when you're messing around with electricity. Just saying'.
